Joseph Drouhin was a daring and enterprising young man from the Chablis region. In 1880, at the age of 22, he settled in Beaune and founded his own winery there. His aim was to offer high-quality wines that would bear his name. With almost 90 different appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a fascinating range of Burgundian terroirs in all their authenticity and subtle variations. Joseph Drouhin has adopted the organic and biodynamic approach. Only natural products are used in the vineyards and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment. Joseph Drouhin's style is an alliance of character, balance and harmony. Wines intended to be drunk young are fresh and subtle; those intended to be kept acquire a sumptuous complexity with age.

The Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche has a beautiful pale stony yellow colour with a golden hue. It bursts from the glass with aromas of golden orchard fruit, peach, candied citrus, honeycomb and toast as well as light tropical fruit and honeysuckle. Medium to full bodied, opulent and textural, it is satiny smooth with a firm core supported by juicy acidity, and finishes with a beautifully defined finish despite its elegantly sun-drenched profile. The finish lingers for minutes with honey, flint, cream and apples. A dream. You should age this of course, but it is so beautiful now.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Montrachet toont gouden boomgaardfruit en perzik met gekonfijte citrus, honingraat en subtiele toast, een satijnachtige textuur en frisse, sappige zuren die eindigen in een lange, minerale afdronk van honing, vuursteen en room. Door die combinatie van rijkdom en frisse zuurgraad sluit hij prachtig aan bij witte vis, romige bereidingen en schelp- en schaaldieren omdat de zuren vetheid doorsnijden terwijl het volle, zijdezachte mondgevoel sauzen en smeuïge stukjes vis complimenteert; searende of licht geroosterde bereidingen zoals coquilles kort gebakken, gepofte of geroosterde pladijs, of vis met een beurre blanc of lichte citrussaus werken bijzonder goed.

Joseph Drouhin was a bold and enterprising young man who hailed from the Chablis region. In 1880, at the age of 22, he settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company there. His goal was to offer high quality wines that would bear his name. His son Maurice succeeded him and set up a vineyard estate in front of the house, buying land in some excellent appellations such as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Robert Drouhin, who succeeded Maurice in 1957, gave the domain its current dimension and acquired many vineyards, especially in Chablis, where he was able to recognize its true potential. He was one of the first in Burgundy to introduce "culture raisonnée" (abolition of pesticides and other chemicals) and set up an oenology laboratory led by Laurence Jobard, the very first female oenologist in Burgundy. Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric are the four children of Robert and Françoise Drouhin. They uphold the values of the house and its constant search for quality, for the enjoyment of all who have a deep appreciation for the natural elegance of Burgundy.

With nearly 90 different appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a fascinating range of Burgundian terroirs in all their authenticity and subtle variations. Joseph Drouhin has adopted the organic and biodynamic approach. Only natural products are used in the vineyards and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment. Joseph Drouhin's style is an alliance between character, balance and harmony. Wines intended to be drunk young are fresh and subtle; wines that are meant to be preserved take on a luscious complexity with age.
